He might well be, Pete. Was just my personal opinion, based on the anguish of watching every Yankee game that was telecast in my area while he was as helpless as a newborn babe, that sparked my comment. In addition, I don't think there is any question that but for his invisible streak, the Yanks could have beaten Boston out for the division lead and avoided the huge one and out risk they now face--any team can win a single game against any other team.

Best wishes,

The Yankees did a lot better than most people expected before the season started. Judge was instrumental to their success. I doubt anyone on the team feels he cost them the division title as they realize they wouldn't even have been in the race without him.

I agree. Heck, Judge was either rookie and/or player of the month in April, May, June, and September. You can't be switched on all of the time. Posted a graphic earlier in this thread that shows even MVP-caliber seasons include slumps.

No one on that team is holding Judge responsible for them having to play in a wild card game. By all accounts he's loved by his teammates.

Any time a team falls short there is plenty of blame to go around. I like the Yankees at home with Severino.

I agree it is going to be one nerve-wracking game. Yet as a Yankee fan, I hold the likes of Betances and Chapman much more responsible than Judge; those two conspired to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory a few times this year. And one is paid an enormous sum, supposed to be a premiere closer; the other was an All-Star with similarly high expectations. Both of them also have rather bad, pouty attitudes. In contrast Judge was an overachieving rookie, from whom I hoped in spring to see .250 with maybe 30HR.

* Sonny Gray/Sanchez/Holder/Girardi also teamed up the other day to really wet the bed, in what turned out to be a very important game. That one stung to watch!

The bullpen blew over 20 games. The Yankees not winning the division has very little to do with judge slumping after the break

I would also like to see how many games Sanchez lost for us by letting balls get by him. I can think of at least 2 games they lost because of a passed ball.

Saw Judge in an interview during Monday Night Football last night at halftime.

He was wearing a thumbs down shirt.

I haven't seen it mentioned on Net54, but isn't the Mets fan who inspired that for the Yankees, also a regular poster here on Net54?

so Judge took care of business on the 'didnt win the division' argument....homering in the wildcard among other things in that game to get them to next round

what more can you ask from this guy with his 50+ homers etc......stop the haters ..and yet will still hear 'but he slumped'!!!'
